Porsche’s new Taycan Turbo GT set new lap records in California and Germany, beating previous records set by Tesla’s Model S Plaid.
Porsche likes its lap records, whether at Nürburgring in Germany or Laguna Seca in California. These records mean a lot to the German automaker, so much so that it occasionally makes up new ones just to break them. The latest record is no fabrication, though.
A few days later, Kern was at the world-famous Nürburgring race course to post a lap time of 7:07.55 minutes — beating the Model S Plaid’s time of 7:25.231. Automakers love bragging rights, and the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife course is one of the prime battlegrounds. But over the years, the limits of the track have mostly been explored, so there’s not as much rarefied air left for companies that want to claim they were the fastest around the 12.9-mile course.
